Plastograph EC plus from
Brabender will be on display
powdered resins for laser sintering 3D print systems. Luvosint 65-8824 is a special PP grade developed for
production of custom robot grippers for use in the injection moulding industry. Compared to materials such as PA12, which is currently used for such applications, the Luvosint product is lighter and less susceptible to embrittlement caused by the drying effect of compressed air. Lehmann&Voss also has a laser sintering TPU – Luvosint X92A-1 – which is already being used for prototyping applications in the shoe and fashion industries. ❙

TSRC Corp will introduce a new range of low styrene SEBS polymers that are said to be suitable for use as modifiers in polyolefins or in hotmelt adhesive formulation. Taipol DP-104 is suitable for use in elastic packaging films and DP-029 in seals for automotive and construc- tion applications. DP-027 is a high vinyl SEBS offering particularly good miscibility with PP. It is said to be suitable for production of transparent soft parts for medical applications. ❙

Machinery and equipment Brabender will display several examples from its range of torque rheometers in Shanghai, including the Plasticorder Lab-Station and its table-top Plastograph EC plus.
The Plasticorder Lab-Station is suitable for use with
mixers and extruders with temperature control. It features a universal docking station to simplify fitting and offers a speed range of 0.2-350min-1. The company says the unit is particularly well suited to use with the company’s single screw extruder type 30 and twin screw extruder type 25. The Plastograph EC plus is a cost-optimised version of the Lab-Station. It includes a 3.8kW motor and offers

a torque measurement range to 200Nm and speeds from 0.2-150min-1. ❙

The CPM Extrusion Group presentation at Chinaplas will focus on the company’s proven CX line of twin screw extruders. Designed to provide the optimum balance of cost and performance, CX series models offer torque densities of up to 13 Nm/cm3
. Assembled at the Ruiya
Extrusion facility in Nanjing, China, all sizes use European-manufactured gearboxes while the high wear screw, barrel and shaft metallurgy is handled by Century Extrusion in the USA. CPM will show a CX-103 model in Shanghai, a new size in the line-up that has been sold to a global compounder for one of their facilities in Europe. It will also show a CX-26 15 Nm/cm3
high torque lab extruder,
which includes quick-adjust side feeders, gearbox and motor to enable speedy changeover of process length. The CX-26 will be equipped with an EUPC underwa-
ter pelletizer built at Ruiya Extrusion in cooperation with leading Austrian underwater pelletizer supplier ECON. EUPC production follows the same concept as the CX line of twin screw extruders, with critical components manufactured by ECON in Austria and final assembly and controls coming from Ruiya. The two companies have been collaborating for two years and report considerable success in China. ❙

Erema will be demonstrating how its TVEplus technol- ogy can manage recycling of heavily printed plastic materials at the show with a live exhibit incorporating an Intarema 1007 TVEplus unit with an Erema SW4/104 RTF melt filter. The system will be shown recycling heavily printed LDPE scrap back to pellets at through- puts of 300-350 kg/h. The pellets will then be repro- cessed directly into new film on the booth. The TVEplus technology has been developed to
handle the special challenges involved in recycling heavily printed plastic films, such as the breakdown and decomposition of binding agents and other additives
